Vol 5 Chapter 9: Conflict of Interests-Labor Subcontracting

The Bulgarian government has always been highly efficient. After the railway plan was established, the Ministry of Communications immediately organized an expert team to conduct field surveys. In addition to the terrain and landforms, the human economy and future exhibition directions must also be considered.
Can't you leave the train station hundreds of miles away from the city? If that's the case, the railroads will also drive the fart regional economy, and light transportation of materials will cause people to collapse!
Of course, Bulgaria does not have much historical baggage in this respect. Except for the Balkans, cities are to be rebuilt. You can also consider each other in terms of location. You do n’t need to make concessions to the city, and you must artificially increase railway construction cost!
At the beginning of the 20th century, the biggest problem was the financial, material, and human resources. Now the problem of the Ministry of Transport is naturally not a matter of money, nor is it a matter of material resources. Domestic steel companies are expanding their production capacity to meet demand.
Manpower is troublesome. Two months ago, the Bulgarian government was still suffering from the refugee problem. Now the refugee camps have been evacuated, and major companies have joined the looting war. The direct consequence is that the average wage in Bulgaria has risen. Twenty percent.
Among them, agricultural companies and railway companies are the most fierce. Agricultural companies are going to open up wasteland. Even if they use mechanized farming technology, tens of millions of hectares of land are suddenly added, and labor is still indispensable!
Not to mention the railway companies. Some of them are live. The new round of big railway plans has not yet started, but they can build roads?
Who said that road construction can't make money? As long as a few toll stations are built, Lev will not come in the future. They still have some investment vision!
Naturally, this high road cannot be a later high road. It is mainly a cement road. Cars can run one hundred and eighty yards on it. In this era, it is already a proper high road.
Now that the railway company is lobbying the government to open the toll station, the Ministry of Transport naturally supports it, but the cabinet has not yet made up its mind. It is mainly a traditional problem.
Since ancient times, building bridges and paving roads has been public welfare. Now suddenly the fees are changed. Everyone is afraid of causing adverse social effects, so they are temporarily stuck.
However, with the increase of private cars in Bulgaria, future charges are also inevitable. The question is how to charge?
Now some people in the government have put forward another proposal, which is to ask capitalists to pay for roads, and then authorize them to build gas stations on both sides of the roads.
In this way, the government can eliminate the need to invest heavily and the tolls can be cancelled, but the fuel costs will also increase!
Well, in this era, there were only a few hundred thousand private cars in Bulgaria. They were driven by local tyrants. The price doesn't matter. They can afford the car anyway, and they don't care about the cost.
On this issue, Ferdinand is also a little hesitant. The government has funded the construction of high highways, so the toll is inevitable, otherwise the maintenance will be disastrous.
Moreover, toll stations are also a headache, how to monitor them? In this era, there is no computer and no monitoring. All of them rely on manual operation. If you want to do a little movement, how do you check it?
A thousand cars are passed every day, or only a hundred cars are passed. This problem can only be counted by manpower. Whether it can make money in the end depends on the moral integrity of these frontline personnel!
It is easy to get the capitalists to pay, but it is estimated that everyone is rushing to build the bustling area, and the poor and remote areas will be ignored.
Unless it is taken away in a package, to build a section of the main road between cities, it is necessary to add a section of remote mountain roads.
Only in this way, it is estimated that Ferdinand can only take the order by himself, there is not enough interest to lure it!
In 1918, you told the capitalists that in the future Bulgaria will be able to use cars in every household, and they will definitely tell you: that is the future.
Investment in the construction of highways throughout Bulgaria has been a pure loss for at least the first two decades. It is estimated that no capitalist in Bulgaria has suffered such a long loss!
Of course, if it ’s limited to the Balkans, that ’s no problem. Invest billions of levs, and when the auto industry explodes, capitalists can make money back through other channels.
It seems that the automobile industry is now beginning to exert its strength. Bulgarian nationals' car holdings are growing rapidly, exceeding one million in five years, and exceeding five million in ten years. There is no problem at all.
Unfortunately, 90% of these cars are concentrated in the Balkan Peninsula. Is it still early for Asia Minor to want to show up?
Then this question was temporarily put on hold, waiting for the cabinet to organize professionals to carry out a comprehensive evaluation, and then came up with the results to talk about!
The railway companies continue to repair their roads now, and even if they authorized the franchise of gas stations in the future, it would not have any impact. They can also choose to sell or build a gas station. Although there is no quick way to get a toll station, this is still a very
rich money
investment.
The premise is that the roads they are building are all on the Balkan Peninsula, and they are still mainly arterial roads. Many roads had their subgrades completed several years ago, and now they are only exposed with concrete.
At the time of the high-road toll dispute, Ferdinand has quietly bought out the domestic oil exploration right. Of course, this was carried out in secret. On the surface, there are still more than a dozen oil companies in Bulgaria that have jointly divided up the country. Oil and gas exploitation rights.
Oil in this era was not valuable. In order to conceal people's eyes, Ferdinand threw out several smoke bombs around the end of the World War.
For example, from September to December 1917, South American Petroleum Company, a subsidiary of United Mining Corporation, was in the vicinity of Lake Maracaibo in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and Guarico and Anso in a short period of three months. Atji and Monagas have large oil fields.
Before Christmas in 1918, South American Oil Company also had large oil fields in the Ecuadorian Amazon Plains. Immediately after the French oil company Wadeer, there was an oil field in Tunisia.
...
In a short period of half a year, the number of existing oil fields in the world has surpassed 20, and the oil resources that were scarce in the past have suddenly become worthless.
Of course, these oils have not yet been released, so now the price of crude oil in the world has fallen by less than 20%, and there is no avalanche.
But capital is no longer so optimistic about oil. No matter how important it is, as long as the quantity is large, the price will definitely not go up.
And South America has become the focus, the world's largest oil producing area has now converged in South America, and the conflict of interest between Britain and the United States in South America has become increasingly fierce.
Taking this opportunity, Ferdinand also listed South American Oil Company in London, and quickly sought after under the banner of the world's largest oil company.
The capitalists in London are still celebrating each other. They have the most oil resources in the world, which means that they have occupied a dominant position in the new round of energy revolution.
After the attention of international capital was diverted, the Bulgarian oil exploitation auction became indifferent, and the exploration costs of tens of millions of levs were undoubtedly an astronomical number for Bulgarian local capitalists. Ferdinand's vest fight.
Having done all this, Ferdinand began to watch the struggle between American Petroleum Group and British Petroleum Group.
Of course, the strength of oil groups in this era is not so huge, and the struggle between them is not enough to lead a war.
But over time, the fighting between the two sides has gradually escalated. The consortiums that manipulated oil groups behind the scenes have gradually moved to the forefront, and the British-American conflict has escalated at the end of 1918.
Under the role of capital, the London government has officially listed Americans as the number one enemy; the number one enemy of the Washington government has always been British!
Despite the Anglo-American oil battle, the final victory has not yet come out. Ferdinand also knows that the British will win this time, which is determined by the comprehensive strength of the two sides.
The John Bull of this era is still the number one in the world. By their means of drawing allies, Americans cannot resist, unless they also learn Germans and challenge the world.
In order to resolve the unfavorable situation in diplomacy, the Americans are plotting to split the British-Japanese alliance, while also trying to win over France and France in an attempt to dissolve the agreement between Britain and France and the three countries.

Minister of Transport Tom Ivanov said cautiously, "Sir, this is our preliminary railway plan for the Ministry of Transport. If the Cabinet approves, we can start work next month!"
Constantine took the file and quickly browsed it. Zou frowned and asked, "How do you solve the labor problem? The labor gap of up to 500,000, do you want to grab people from other domestic industries?"
"Grab people" is a very taboo thing for the Bulgarian government. It is not possible to disrupt the order of other industries for the exhibition of one industry and affect the overall exhibition.
The Minister of Transport immediately explained: "Of course it is not. How can our Ministry of Transportation have such a big picture? We have actually solved the problem of labor!
Our big railway plan has just been made public. Some capitalists want to contract our railway project. Of course, their request was rejected by us, but then someone proposed to provide us with labor services.
Our Ministry of Transport and railway companies have studied that as long as we strengthen the supervision of quality, even if they provide labor services, it will not affect the quality of railways.
We have already inquired about the source of their labor. Most of them are from overseas. As long as the specific situation does not violate our laws, I don't think it is a problem! "
Although it was not explicitly stated that Constantine also knew that the origin of these laborers was not so normal, but what was the matter with him?
The international capitalists of this era have a fart discipline, and pitfalls can be used for everything. The government can't control it if it wants to supervise it!
And this kind of labor subcontracting is not the first time, but in order to prevent foreign workers from hitting the domestic human resources market, it has been severely hit by the government and has not formed a scale.
But now that Bulgaria ’s labor force is severely scarce, it is also inevitable to open up a mouth, and the Ministry of Transport is just ahead.
Constantine hesitated and said, "Well! But you still have to strengthen supervision. I do n’t care how these people are fooled by the capitalists. But when you come to Bulgaria, you must abide by our laws. You must not let them wanton Do it!
You should know how much trouble this kind of thing will cause us once it spreads out! "
Yes, it cannot spread! In other words, domestic capitalists cannot be allowed to follow suit. If they all engage in a batch of outsourced workers and squash unbridled, what will happen to the employment of Bulgarians?
With cheaper labor, capitalists are not stupid, and naturally know how to choose, and with it comes the depression of domestic labor wages. This will inevitably lead to the escalation of contradictions between the domestic working class and the bourgeoisie, and aggravate society. contradiction.
The Minister of Transport's face changed drastically. When he thought about the horrible consequences, he was scalp. If they were not good, they would become Bulgarian sinners.
As for the worst case scenario, it certainly won't happen. The Bulgarian government will inevitably interfere, but this intervention is not without cost. It has become more difficult to eliminate the class contradictions that have already intensified.
"My Excellency, rest assured that none of these foreign workers will appear in the Balkan Peninsula. Our Ministry of Transport will send them to more remote areas. UU reading www.uukanshu.com to eliminate the possibility of hidden dangers!" Minister of Transport Tom assured Road
This is the easiest and most effective way! The transportation and communication in this era were not so convenient. There was no Internet transmission. Things born in the Asia Minor Peninsula were spread to the Balkans. I do n’t know when.
As for the impact, as long as you are not born beside you, everyone will only think that it is hearsay and doubtful.
Coupled with the government's crackdown, how can capitalists take risks if they are not desperate?
As long as you hold back at the beginning, it will be easy to handle later. People's congresses are blindly obedient. As long as everyone observes the rules, the latecomers will naturally follow suit!
